My Approach to Helping
I am a licensed therapist based in Southern California, who works with clients online throughout California. Many of my clients are looking to manage anxiety and worry, explore changes and transitions in their lives, improve and strengthen the relationships most important to them, and explore issues around identity.
My approach is rooted in psychodynamic theory, or understanding the influence of early relationships and experiences on present behavior. I also works to help clients notice their emotions and what is happening in their bodies, and learn to soothe parts of themselves that may need attention. Many of my clients did not feel seen or understood at some point when they were young, and we explore how this is impacting them in their current relationships.
My client’s have described me as supportive and non-judgmental, and have appreciated my thought-provoking questions and attentiveness.
My priority in my relationships with clients is to create a safe and respectful environment for clients to come forward with whatever they are experiencing. I bring a deep care and respect to my work, and I appreciate getting to know clients in all of their uniqueness and complexity.
